Webinar: Family-Centered Fridays - Upstream

Recorded March 22, 2024

This Family-Centered Fridays webinar, presented by the National Center for State Courts (NCSC), features Upstream, our court-led, community-based approach aimed at enhancing community collaboration through state and local coordination, resource and process mapping, and action planning.

Upstream aims to strengthen communities, prevent child maltreatment and out-of-home placement, reduce court involvement, and support safe and healthy families.

The webinar will provide an overview of the Upstream approach, and panelists will describe their experiences participating in a community mapping workshop.
